Our review

  • Peter Bradshaw

    Peter Bradshaw: Ridley Scott provides us with a pure war movie, remarkable in some ways for the severity - even asceticism - of its utter concentration on deafening and relentless action. There is no backstory for anyone and an eerie absence of political context.
